Hey, I was wondering if quotes are necessary to get top marks? Or do they just help and look good? Our teacher, who is an HSC marker, said that we don't need them and they don't help. Reading this forum though has scared me. Also can everyone share the quotes they have for section I ...

Well with the length of a piece, its the old story: 'quality not quantity' However for the 30 mark question since you should be spending close to an hour on it I think you should be writing at least 1200 words. If you look at the band 6's from last year they are writing between 8-14 pages...

Hey I am pretty confortable with the content for the topic. Only problem is secondary scholarship. Does anyone know any good quotes, or historians (besides Inega and Willmott)? Also do you have any predictions for the questions? I reckon, and hope, that one question will definitely be...

I only really started working hard this term. term 4 and 1 I was doing on average about 30min of homework every night except before assessments :( I know its bad However now I'm doing about 2 hours? How much do you think you need to do to get a UAI of over 95? Thanks

Hey guys I'm thinking of doing journalism next year or a combination jouranlism/law degree. Problem is I don't know which university to go to. ie strengths and weaknesses. Any info would be appreciated. These are the courses I'm looking at: Media and Communications (Sydney) 98.5...

Not bad at all. However since there are so little people in some of your classes (ie history) its hard to tell. But if maths doesn't count I'd say mid 80s

Dude you seriously need to lift your game in english if you want to do well. Even though your other marks are amazing english will seriously hurt you. If you continue with those ranking I rekcon you'll get in the low 90's. However if you pull up ur english you'll easily get 95+

I'm not quite sure what you mean but it is possible depending how your the other candidates in yours subjects go from year to year. 2 UAI points empcompasses a lot of people. Since about 70,000 people do the HSC then 2% is about 1,500

I'd say that with those rankings your looking at 98+ especially considering your from a selective school

I agree with twintip at least 98 if you keep up with those rankings good stuff

library for me I've found I can't work for more than an hour at home per day before I get distracted, going to the library really gives me the structure I need to get work done. I find working for an hour then having a 10 minute break then another hour works well. complaining about being...

hey people, my school isn't selective but usually 50% of year 12 gets over 90 in the HSC. English (adv) 36/230 83% Maths Ext 1 35/90 73% Maths Ext 2 45/65 68% Ancient History 5/38 88% Modern History 10/40 84% Ext History 6/22 82%...
